Isn’t that just the “default” rhythm for most music?

Why though!?

It’s just easy and intuitive. It’s a steady beat, and then you halve the intervals and halve those again.
Triplets are also quite common.

Right but like… It’s not good.

But what’s appealing about it? What’s to like!?

Well, 4/4 is definitely the easiest to dance to. It’s also the easiest to ignore in lieu of whatever else is going on musically. It appeals to the lowest common denominator. Not that 4/4 has to be boring or predictable.
